Default loud squeek when driving

i have a 96 f350 crew cab long bed and it seems when im running around town i have this squeek sound its louder than my engine...if u touch the brakes it gets 10 times worse and when u go around a right hand turn or hit a bump its 10 times worse...just replaced the rear brakes 2000 miles ago and fronts are in great shape so i dont think its the brakes...someone said to check the carrier bearing on the drive shaft...i think they are right but any suggestions??

Sounds like it's in the brakes, they dont have to be worn out to make noise. Make sure you dont have a bent squealer, it's the little metal tab on one end of the brake pad it's supposed to make them squeal when wore out but if it got bent it may be on overtime. Take your caliper pins out also and put a little brake caliper grease on them. Another thing if your pads have a glazed look on the surface, take a block of wood with a piece of sandpaper and clean the glaze off.
